Breaking-free from Slough Council's Shackles

Expensive Services Monopoly

Whilst not a fan of the Coalition Government's policy allowing schools
to become academies, I however sympathise with Slough Grammar's desire
to break free from the constraining shackles of Slough Borough Council -
a council classified as a 'Rotten Borough' by Private Eye magazine.

The rest of us living in the borough lack any ability to break free from
our poor performing council forcing us to buy monopoly service at
expensive prices. Compelled to pay ludicrously high prices for very
basic council services is unfair, undemocratic and lacks public
accountability.

Local government in this country is in urgent need of reform especially
in Slough where the council charges us money to receive their own
propaganda praising themselves. How can anyone justify paying the
council's boss £185,000 a year in these financial difficult times?
